~ASH Men filtered in from nooks and corners, surrounding us as they formed a circle. Ethan, Cole and I both stood back to back, trying to decide on a stance that was formidable enough. The men didn't wear masks, so it was pretty obvious that they were young. Scars marked their faces, and they held batons with a quiet confidence that suggested regular usage. These people were a gang. A slightly older man, who seemed like their leader stood slightly apart from the others, watching us with an unreadable expression. Someone stood behind him, the form of the person was small and slight that it was almost not noticeable. “Sweetheart. Come on out. Are they the ones chasing you?” He called out and the small form I noticed stepped out, turning out to be the girl who delivered the flowers. “Yes,” she nodded in affirmative. The man nodded and gestured for her to leave. He didn't speak until the girl was out of sight. “You wanted to kidnap my daughter,” the man stated, his v

~ASH Cole didn't waste any time in producing an handcuff, and I was amazed at how fast he was at grabbing the man while his victimstruggled against his hold in total confusion. We watched as he handcuffed the man after saying whatever he had to say to bring him inside, and waited with anticipation for our detective and the man with a scar. Cole half dragged, half walked the man inside, and as soon as the door locked behind them, he whirled around to face the man. Before Cole could speak, however, the senior officer cleared his throat. “Hold your tongue, Cole,” the senior officer glared at him who promtly held his tongue. “Matthew? Check if this man has any criminal record,” he ordered the tech guy. The hooded man, who was watching us with a great deal of fear and wariness, immediately became alarmed. “Oh man. This is not good. Not good at all,” Mathew murmured and like moths to flame, we all crowded around him. Yeah. This hooded guy was in a whole lot of troub

~RUBY Ash walked to the door wordlessly, and we all waited patiently to know who was behind it. When the door came open, the voice that floated into the room was familiar, but I could not place who it was until Ash stood at the doorway, resuming his former position, and the lawyer walked in. “Richard? It's you, did something come up?” Ethan asked and Mr. Richard smiled. “I just came here to chec on Ruby. I heard what happened,” he sounded sincere, too sincere, that it had me feeling slightly uncomfortable. Ella glared at him. “This late though? You could not have come to check up on her tomorrow? It's past ten pm, Mister,” Ella shook her head with disapproval and I frowned. Ella was right. He could have waited till tomorrow. “Easy, Richard is more like family now. He's worked for us since I was a child. He truly cares,” Ethan cut in. But I frowned slightly because I still found it strange. Why would he insist on checking up on me by this time of the day? W

~RUBY Ash kissed me. I didn't know what I was expecting when he leaned over, but I definitely was not expecting him to kiss me. I froze for what seemed like hours but was only a few seconds. Again, I was hit with that feeling of Deja Vu. We had only kissed once on that night I wanted to forget badly— but it was still feeling like we had kissed so many times and I could not stop craving him. Ash groaned against my lips and I lost it. I leaned in, let my muscles relax, and kissed him back. His lips were velvety soft, and they tasted exclusively like he did last time. It was sweet. It was heady. It was sexy. It was…what I wanted. I kissed him back with everything in me, his hands snaking around my waist to drag me unto his lap. I dragged my hands through his hair, my mouth swallowing his gasp as I threaded my fingers in his hair. He gripped my ass, and ground against me. The friction made me freeze for a moment, before I groaned, and started moving against him.

~ASH I gasped in shock at Ruby's unconscious form. “Ruby? Ruby?” I called quietly, not wanting to wake up her husband by mistake. I was already thinking of ways, strategies to explain this to her without scaring her away or sounding weird, but it was nearly impossible. Where the hell do I even start from? I crawled over to her and shook her slightly, her naked breasts jiggling and trying to draw my attention. But this was no time to be consumed by desire. I needed her to wake up. “Ruby? Ruby. Damnit. Stop scaring me and just wake up. It's not what you think it is.” It is exactly what you think it is. She didn't stir, her body limp and unresponsive. Oh goodness. What if… I ran to the bathroom and flung the door open, cupping water with my hands. It did no good though. The water dripped all over the floor before I got to the bed. I cursed as I carried her to the bathroom, setting her gently on the bathroom floor. Sprinkling water on her face, I
